So all of those magazines they sell at CVS? Have you ever noticed how half of them are geared toward tweens and the rest have some sort of “wedding” related content?

Under the guise of going to procure sinus medication for me Kelli slipped out of the hotel room only to return with an overflowing CVS bag. (Yes, she is amazing enough to have remember my pills – I was miserable with sinus stuff)

In this bag was a 300 page magazine called Brides. It had a total of 500 words of editorial type content. This magazine is effectively a Nascar race car. It is plastered with ads and product placements in every conceivable spot.

Did I mention that these bridal magazines multiply? On the coffee table right now there is a stack a tad over one foot high of bridal magazines. A few are decent (Apparently Modern Brides is a winner – but the one issue of Victorian Brides is still hanging around…) but on the whole this entire thing is a little bit nuts.
